that's a good point and I agree entirely. Actually I agree completely, that's pretty much the problem that my home country (France) has. "Police des polices" is separate, but it still falls under the authority of the

how does this work in practice ? is there some kind of signature you can use to ascertain that the code you have is what's actually on the device ? Is it possible to do the same for the SIM (as I understand it, it is its own microsyste

as somebody who has written a lot of java and kotlin, often I prefer the most explicit option. Code will be mostly read, not written, so if something will make a junior (or in some cases even seasoned) dev scratch their head to be understoo

I don't even have kids and camera is also the deciding factor for me. For that reason, seeing Marc Levoy calling it quit at Google makes me pessimistic for the next pixels. to be fair the 4 was already a bit underwhelming in that area
